From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York's work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations-featuring all-new advice!
There's a reason Alison Green has been called "the Dear Abby of the work world." Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don't know what to say. Thankfully, Green does-and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You'll learn what to say when
• coworkers push their work on you-then take credit for it
• you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit "reply all"
• you're being micromanaged-or not being managed at all
• you catch a colleague in a lie
• your boss seems unhappy with your work
• your cubemate's loud speakerphone is making you homicidal
